Bridging WiFi to Ethernet

[msamman]

Does anyone know if the Raspberry Pi is capable of bridging WiFi connection (using AirLink101 AWLL5088) and the ethernet port? I've been using my computer to bridge my XBox 360 to the internet and I want to shift that responsibility over to the Pi.

Thanks,
Mo

Thanks.

Just to make it easier for anyone who want to find this post, ill tell you the steps I did.

First install bridge-utils

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get bridge-utils

Then I open up my interfaces file...

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

and edited it to contain this

Code: Select all

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto ehto0
iface eth0 inet manual

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid "(your SSID here)"
wpa-psk "(your password here)"

auto br0
iface br0 inet dhcp
bridge_ports wlan0 eth0

And thats all it took! Good luck!

Doesnt work for me, i always get

Some advice?

Background:
To install bridge-utils i use wpa_GUI to get connected to my WLan to install bridge-utils.
Afterwards ive done the steps mentioned above.

I was having issues doing this as well and the above did not work for me. I was finally able to get it working and created a tutorial on how to get it setup. You can view it here.

That's not actually bridging, but routing...
Just thought I'd point that out.

I followed this guide:

My Tv receives ip but still complains about DNS.
What could be wrong?
I only want to use the eth0 to provide internet access (through wlan0) to my TV
